The same key can appear several times with the same or a different value. Indeed, the arguments are stored as a list of key/values associations and not as a dictionary. This file provides some helpers that are especially used by virtual ethernet devices at initialization for arguments parsing. Definition in file rte_kvargs.h. Macro Definition Documentation #define RTE_KVARGS_MAX 32 Maximum number of key/value associations Definition at line 29 of file rte_kvargs.h. #define RTE_KVARGS_PAIRS_DELIM ',' separator character used between each pair Definition at line 32 of file rte_kvargs.h. #define RTE_KVARGS_KV_DELIM '=' separator character used between key and value Definition at line 35 of file rte_kvargs.h. Typedef Documentation typedef int(* arg_handler_t) (const char *key, const char *value, void *opaque) Callback prototype used by rte_kvargs_process(). Parameters key The key to consider, it will not be NULL. value The value corresponding to the key, it may be NULL (e.g. only with key) opaque An opaque pointer coming from the caller. Returns • >=0 handle key success. • <0 on error. Definition at line 50 of file rte_kvargs.h. Function Documentation struct rte_kvargs * rte_kvargs_parse (const char * args, const char *const valid_keys[]) Allocate a rte_kvargs and store key/value associations from a string The function allocates and fills a rte_kvargs structure from a given string whose format is key1=value1,key2=value2,... The structure can be freed with rte_kvargs_free(). Parameters args The input string containing the key/value associations valid_keys A list of valid keys (table of const char *, the last must be NULL). This argument is ignored if NULL Returns • A pointer to an allocated rte_kvargs structure on success • NULL on error struct rte_kvargs * rte_kvargs_parse_delim (const char * args, const char *const valid_keys[], const char * valid_ends) Allocate a rte_kvargs and store key/value associations from a string. This version will consider any byte from valid_ends as a possible terminating character, and will not parse beyond any of their occurrence. The function allocates and fills an rte_kvargs structure from a given string whose format is key1=value1,key2=value2,... The structure can be freed with rte_kvargs_free(). Parameters args The input string containing the key/value associations valid_keys A list of valid keys (table of const char *, the last must be NULL). This argument is ignored if NULL valid_ends Acceptable terminating characters. If NULL, the behavior is the same as rte_kvargs_parse. Returns • A pointer to an allocated rte_kvargs structure on success • NULL on error void rte_kvargs_free (struct rte_kvargs * kvlist) Free a rte_kvargs structure Free a rte_kvargs structure previously allocated with rte_kvargs_parse(). Parameters kvlist The rte_kvargs structure. No error if NULL. const char * rte_kvargs_get (const struct rte_kvargs * kvlist, const char * key) Get the value associated with a given key. If multiple keys match, the value of the first one is returned. The memory returned is allocated as part of the rte_kvargs structure, it must never be modified. Parameters kvlist A list of rte_kvargs pair of 'key=value'. key The matching key. Returns NULL if no key matches the input, a value associated with a matching key otherwise. const char * rte_kvargs_get_with_value (const struct rte_kvargs * kvlist, const char * key, const char * value) Get the value associated with a given key and value. Find the first entry in the kvlist whose key and value match the ones passed as argument. The memory returned is allocated as part of the rte_kvargs structure, it must never be modified. Parameters kvlist A list of rte_kvargs pair of 'key=value'. key The matching key. If NULL, any key will match. value The matching value. If NULL, any value will match. Returns NULL if no key matches the input, a value associated with a matching key otherwise. int rte_kvargs_process (const struct rte_kvargs * kvlist, const char * key_match, arg_handler_t handler, void * opaque_arg) Call a handler function for each key=value matching the key For each key=value association that matches the given key, calls the handler function with the for a given arg_name passing the value on the dictionary for that key and a given extra argument. Note Compared to See also rte_kvargs_process_opt, this API will return -1 when handle only- key case (that is the matched key's value is NULL). Parameters kvlist The rte_kvargs structure. key_match The key on which the handler should be called, or NULL to process handler on all associations handler The function to call for each matching key opaque_arg A pointer passed unchanged to the handler Returns • 0 on success • Negative on error int rte_kvargs_process_opt (const struct rte_kvargs * kvlist, const char * key_match, arg_handler_t handler, void * opaque_arg) Call a handler function for each key=value or only-key matching the key For each key=value or only-key association that matches the given key, calls the handler function with the for a given arg_name passing the value on the dictionary for that key and a given extra argument. Parameters kvlist The rte_kvargs structure. key_match The key on which the handler should be called, or NULL to process handler on all associations handler The function to call for each matching key opaque_arg A pointer passed unchanged to the handler Returns • 0 on success • Negative on error unsigned rte_kvargs_count (const struct rte_kvargs * kvlist, const char * key_match) Count the number of associations matching the given key Parameters kvlist The rte_kvargs structure key_match The key that should match, or NULL to count all associations Returns The number of entries Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for DPDK from the source code.
